Description Finally, another space-craft of the Federation, though this is a very uncommon sight and a design that's highly dependent on close proximity with larger structures such as space-ships or star-bases.  The interior of the shuttle is actually mirrored in both orientations so that the crew inside can strap in and looked out the windows "up top" or "down below" as without gravity, there's really no need to dedicate systems to one orientation or the other and the shuttle was built with multiple docking-methods in mind, depending on the needs of the installations its servicing. Its a short-range personnel transport and survey-vehicle that became especially popular with ferrying personnel and materials to and from moon-bases via powered rail catapults.

The design itself is a bit of a homage to several Star Trek shuttle designs but I felt like having my own twist on it, especially as I wanted to design a shuttle with zero-gravity in mind.
